    Abstract

    Management at Western Bransfield Strait aims to:
    • avoid degradation of, or substantial risk to, the values of the Area by preventing unnecessary human disturbance;
    • allow scientific research on the marine environment while ensuring protection from oversampling;
    • allow other scientific research within the Area provided it will not compromise the values for which the Area is protected;
    • allow visits for management purposes in support of the aims of the management plan.
